Walkthrough

Map of Fear is the Price of Sin

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. At the northernmost end, take the northwest passage, then go south and west, until a compartment behind you opens. Enter it, lower the east wall, and flip the switch there to lower a lift nearby. This leads to a box of shotgun shells. (sector 72)
2. Two alcoves in Secret #1 will open upon getting the box of shotgun shells. Enter the second one and shoot the back wall to find shotgun shells and a soul sphere. (sector 88)
3. At the northeast end, head around the pit in the middle and head south onto another ledge. Get the medikit and box of shotgun shells at the end to open the south wall. Go there and shoot the east wall to find a computer area map. (sector 176)
4. In the room west of the hub, go to the southwest end of the barred-off switch in the middle and use the side with the lightning symbol. This opens the northeast passage, which has a light amplification visor. (sector 226)
